The thing is... the group does some really terrible things. I don't know if you want me to source all of them are not, but there are feminists out there who are far, far more concerned with promoting their feminist propaganda and inducing unfound fear in young girls in order to get them into their movement. Case in point? Google the time when a feminist took an image of a girl attacked by a kangaroo and claimed for it to be a rape. Or take a look at the 1/3 statistic when it comes to being raped. If you're a young teenage girl growing up and you hear you have a 1/3 chance of being raped, which has been disproven (along with rape culture, as stated by the RAINN), you're going to be terrified.
Considering the fact that it's the extremists and radicals that are currently the bone of the movement and are the loudest and most prominent ones running it, I'd say it's not completely wrong to have a bad impression of feminism based on the fact that feminists have lied their way into relevance today. See: the "a woman makes 75 cents for every man's dollar". There's quite a lot. I'd recommend taking a quick google to find such sources. Not to mention, one "true" feminist out there, Christina Hoff Sommers, who very much does advocate for the equality of genders, is an older woman, and genuinely seeks out equality for men and women alike, is labeled as an anti-feminist by the majority of modern feminists due to her holding views that go against modern feminism.
So, to sum it up, the backbone of the modern day feminist movement is one filled with lots of fear-mongering, lies, and pure hatred as well. The people who have the most say and respect in the feminist movement are usually also the ones who are fulfilling and encouraging this fear-mongering, lies, and hatred.
I'm not going to align myself up with a movement that, not only has long since served its purpose in America (and god forbid do other women in other countries need it more than us, but sadly putting on a label that I dislike won't change their situation), but is also run and led by a following of vicious teens and young adults.
